Cardiac handbook

Cardiac handbook

Caring for kids with heart conditions using specialised support and expertise, across both our hospitals. 

Welcome to the Cardiac service

Facing your child's heart condition or surgery can be a daunting experience. We've created this handbook to provide you with information, support, and guidance every step of the way.

In this handbook, you'll find details about heart-related conditions, tests and procedures.  We've included advice on how to prepare for your child's surgery if that's part of their treatment plan, what to expect during their hospital stay, and how to care for them as they recover. 

By understanding the journey ahead, you will feel more confident in making decisions and being part of your child's care team. We're here to walk alongside you, offering not just medical expertise but compassion and understanding to enhance the care we provide to cardiac patients and their families.
